‘Drop the Knife! Drop It!’

Posted on | July 17, 2020 | 4 Comments

 

Here’s a simple question: How many times should a cop have to tell you, “Drop the knife”? Like, suppose that you were an idiot who had just caused a six-car traffic pileup in Los Angeles, and when the police showed up on the scene, you were waving around a razor knife.

The cop has a pistol drawn and yells at you, “Drop the knife!”

One time?

Yeah, I think most people would drop the knife the first time.

Two times?

Let’s face it, most criminals aren’t very smart. So maybe the police officer with a pistol would have to yell “drop the knife” twice.

But suppose you are such a complete idiot that you not only cause a massive accident on San Pedro Street, but after the cop — you know, the one with a pistol — tells you the second time to drop the knife, you not only fail to comply, you keep advancing toward the cop.

At this point, you’re what we call “fair game.” And perhaps someone should have warned you — yes, you, the reckless-driving idiot waving around a razor knife in the middle of San Pedro Street — that the LAPD officer you are confronting is one of the best shots in America.

 

Officer Toni McBride’s marksmanship made her nationally famous. She is literally a poster girl for the “Hot Chicks With Guns” market. Looks like you picked the wrong day to bring a knife to a gunfight:

Over the course of roughly 15 seconds, she tried to deter Hernandez with a series of seven voice commands, first, “Let me see your hands!” then, “Stay right there!” Then, three times: “Drop the knife!”

Excuse me? I don’t care who you are, three times is sufficient warning. It seems, however, that Daniel Hernandez was unusually stupid:

Hernandez kept moving slowly toward her, throwing both arms out from his sides. McBride commanded, “Drop it!” a final time, a split second before firing two shots. Hernandez keeled forward to the asphalt, but quickly pushed himself up and forward. McBride fired two more rounds, then the final two as Hernandez rolled on the ground.

 

Six shots, six hits. Good shooting, Officer McBride.

Because this is 2020, of course, everybody in L.A. is trying to turn this into an excuse for a protest. “Stupid Lives Matter,” or whatever.

UPDATE: A commenter calls attention to a highly relevant fact:

A coroner’s autopsy would later show that Hernandez had methamphetamine in his system. Witnesses said he rejected any assistance and appeared to be cutting himself in the cab of his truck. (A medical examiner later noted cut marks on Hernandez’s forearms.)

Meth is a bad drug, which can cause paranoid psychosis. We don’t know how much meth Hernandez had been doing, but the fact that he plowed his truck into another vehicle and began cutting himself would lend itself to the supposition that he was deranged, demented, delusional, off his rocker, out of his mind, and cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.

Proving once again that Crazy People Are Dangerous.

White Lives Don’t Matter: Democrats Encourage Murderous Racial Hatred

Posted on | July 17, 2020 | 4 Comments

#BlackLivesMatter is a racial hate movement promoted by Democrats who believe that it will help them win elections. The essential message of the movement’s propaganda is that all white people are evil racist oppressors. If any white person dares object to this hateful message, his objection will be cited as proof that he is a racist. The wave of criminal violence inspired by #BlackLivesMatter is not an accidental consequence of this propaganda; violent crime is the desired result because Democrats have embraced a radical “worse is better” mentality. The worse conditions become in the black community, the more motivativation there will be for black voters to go to the polls in November, and (because Democrats always get about 95% of the black vote) this increase in turnout will mean that Democrats win more elections.

One obvious consequece of the Democrats’ cynical strategy is that #BlackLivesMatter will actually increase white racism. After all, if black people are full of anti-white rage — which is what Democrats seek to inspire — their hostile attitudes will inspire fear. And if Democrats deliberately demonize police and encourage black people to engage in violent crime — which is what #BlackLivesMatter is about — then white people concerned for their safety will avoid areas where the population is largely black. You see that Democrats are thus pursuing a “divide and conquer” strategy, with the belief that they can win the fall election by promoting racial polarization. The results are frightening:

Police in Texas are searching for a suspect accused of attacking an 83-year-old man, taking his car and running over him with the stolen vehicle.
According to KTRK, the incident occurred about 4 p.m. June 28 at a gas station on Beechnut Street in Houston. In a Thursday news release, police said the victim walked out of the Valero and started his Toyota Camry before getting out again to smoke a cigarette.
Moments later, a 20- to 30-year-old Black man approached the victim, punched his face and stole the car, police said. The suspect then struck the victim with the car before fleeing, according to the news release.
The victim told officers that he didn’t know the attacker, who weighs about 180 to 200 pounds and stands 6 feet to 6 feet, 2 inches tall, KTRK reported. . . .
Three days later, police found the stolen car abandoned on Synott Road, the release said.

Pause for a moment and ask yourself: Why isn’t this national news? If the races were reversed — if a white man had attacked a black man, stolen his car and run over him — wouldn’t this story be covered by the New York Times, CNN and every other major national media outlet?

As it is, this is strictly “local news,” but obviously every white person in East Texas now knows to stay far away from Houston, a city full of angry black Democrat voters who want to kill white people.

Churchill on Education

Posted on | July 17, 2020 | 1 Comment

 

In 1897, when he was a young officer serving in Bangalore, Winston Churchill recorded his ideas on “universal compulsory education,” a policy that he deemed “a somewhat dangerous experiment.” If the policy could not be reversed, what was the appropriate curriculum for boys?

“Reading and writing, the knowledge of sufficient arithmetic to enable the individual to keep his accounts; the singing of patriotic songs and a gymnastic course is all that he may expect.” [Emphasis added.]

Churchill was exactly correct, of course. It was, and remains, foolish to expect every child to be able to complete a high-school education. Until about 100 years ago, most Americans had no more than eight years of public school. There were no child labor laws; the country boy worked on his family farm, and the city boy found work running errands or whatever. Compulsory public education — the government forcing parents to send their children to school — was a “reform” imported from imperial Prussia by Horace Mann, and this policy went hand-in-hand with regulations to prevent children from pursuing gainful employment. For many years, however, it was not uncommon for boys from working-class families to find actual jobs at age 12 or 13, while in rural America, children quite generally were expected to do their share of work on the family farm. Thus the supposed “need” for making high-school education compulsory was something created by self-declared reformers; most teenagers (and their parents) had no problem with the expectation that young people could begin working for wages at an early age.

If “reformers” insisted on compulsory education, however, this required answering the question of what children should be taught, and Churchill’s prescription was entirely correct, including his suggestion to require “singing of patriotic songs.” If nothing else, schools ought to teach children to love their country, and the project of instilling patriotism in young minds would, at least, tend to ensure a supply of young men willing to volunteer for military service. What better purpose could Lieutenant Churchill of the Fourth Queen’s Own Hussars have in mind for England’s youth? You see that civilian “reformers” — generally a meddlesome bunch of middle-class women, then and now — might imagine all sorts of social benefits from universal education, but the true statesman must ask of any proposed reform, “How does this advance our national interest?” Great Britain had an Empire to govern and to defend, and if this small island was to maintain its place in the world, every resource had to be devoted toward that purpose.

England ought to have heeded young Churchill’s advice, and it would behoove America to pay to attention to that lesson.

Convicted Sex Offender Arrested Again (Want to Guess What He Was Doing?)

Posted on | July 15, 2020 | 1 Comment

 

Three years ago, when Shaelyn Reed was 17, he was convicted of raping a 13-year-old girl in Washington State. Reed, who is six feet tall and weighs more than 250 pounds, was required to register as a sex offender upon his release from custody last year at age 19. Because of his age at the time of his conviction, Reed served his sentence in Juvenile Rehabilitation. You might think that this blubbery pervert would avoid doing anything that could send him to actual adult prison, where the inmates tend to be muscular brutes who take pleasure in inflicting sadistic violence on child molesters. But it turns out that Reed isn’t very smart. He joined Antifa:

A convicted child rapist was charged with felony assault stemming from violence at an Antifa and left-wing protest in Olympia, Wash. on Sunday.
Shaelyn A. Reed, 20, of Olympia, is accused of striking a man on the head with a baton in front of Olympia City Hall. Video recorded of the assault shows the victim bleeding profusely from the head. According to Olympia Police Lt. Paul Lower, Reed allegedly disposed of his weapon in a trash receptacle and changed clothes before being arrested. . . .
Reed is currently held at the county jail on felony assault charges. Police believe he was also part of a group of rioters who destroyed property at an Antifa and Black Lives Matter protest in Olympia on July 5.

Before the bloody violence on Sunday, a few dozen Antifa and far-left protestors countered a small conservative rally. As the two groups met, insults and curses were exchanged, with Antifa accusing the conservatives of being “fascists.” Video recorded at the scene shows far-left protesters physically blocking drivers from leaving the rally and photographing the cars’ license plates.
A group of masked protestors appear to confront a man, identified by first name Edward, before a scuffle breaks out in the street. A witness says Edward was pepper-sprayed, which led to an attack where he was beaten and hit on the head with a baton. The man was punched by a second protester and a third person who hits him repeatedly with a protest sign. As the man is kneeling on the ground and bleeding, protesters continue to call him a “fascist.” Edward was taken by ambulance to Providence St. Peter Hospital.
“The police were in City Hall watching what was happening, and they didn’t come out or respond because they’ve been instructed not to,” says Peter Diaz, who co-organized Sunday’s conservative rally. “We started waving the public through the parking lot to go around Antifa. They’re terrified — Antifa was banging on the cars.”
Diaz added: “The agitators hiding behind the BLM movement are not a problem, they are a symptom of the problem. The problem is the lack of leadership from the politicians running our city.”

Here is another video of the violent attack for which Reed was arrested:

 

Antifa sure attracts some quality people, huh?

Nick Cannon Goes Full Hotep
UPDATE: CBS ‘Terminating Relationship’

Posted on | July 14, 2020 | 2 Comments

 

Never go full hotep:

“America’s Got Talent” host Nick Cannon delivered a racist and anti-Semitic rant in a June 30 episode of his podcast, “Cannon’s Class.”
Cannon hosted rapper Professor Griff, whose record of anti-Semitic comments is well documented, for an interview in which they promoted anti-Semitic conspiracies about Jewish families secretly controlling the world and claimed that black people can’t be anti-Semitic because they’re the real Semitic people. . . .

OK, let me pause here to explain, for anyone who hasn’t followed this, that the idea that black people are the “real Jews” is a claim associated with the Black Hebrew Israelite cult, which was implicated in at least two anti-Semitic terrorist attacks last year. (“Report: ‘Black Hebrew Israelite’ Cult Connection to Jersey City Attack,” Dec. 11, 2019, and “Feds Say Hanukkah Attacker’s Journals Referenced Black Hebrew Israelite Cult,” Dec. 30, 2019.) A few excerpts from the Wikipedia page:

The Hebrew Israelite movement originated at the end of the 19th century, when Frank Cherry and William Saunders Crowdy both claimed to have received visions that African Americans are descendants of the Hebrews in the Bible . . .
Wentworth Arthur Matthew founded the Commandment Keepers Congregation in Harlem in 1919. Matthew was influenced . . . by Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. Garvey used the Biblical Jews in exile as a metaphor for black people in North America. . . .
Zimbabwan novelist Masimba Musodza has stated that the doctrine which is taught by Black Hebrew Israelites “force[s] their own ideas onto the text to promote their own agenda, which serves no purpose at all except to engender antisemitism in Black communities in western countries.”

Let us acknowledge that, at the time that these sects were founded — Frank Cherry’s Church of the Living God in 1886, William Saunders’ Church of God and Saints of Christ in 1896, Wentworth Matthew’s Commandment Keepers in 1919 — black Americans were in a desperate situation. The abolition of slavery had not brought black people to the Promised Land. In fact, most former slaves and their offspring found “freedom” in post-Civil War America to mean a life of toil and poverty. Illiteracy was widespread, and very few black people had even as much as a high-school diploma. In such an environment, it was possible to find a credulous audience for the nonsensical and counter-factual claim that black people were the true descendants of ancient Israelites, and that actual Jews were therefore imposters, who had “stolen” their identity. What is more difficult to explain — mind-boggling, really — is how anyone in the 21st century could be so ignorant as to believe this. But such nonsense has continued gaining traction:

Supposedly, hotep is an ancient Egyptian word meaning “peace,” but the word has become slang for promoters of a crude system of Afrocentric beliefs, with overtones of black nationalism tending toward paranoid conspiracy theories:

In Afrocentrism and black nationalism of the late 20th century, influenced by the “Black Egyptian hypothesis”, “Hotep” was adopted as a formula or greeting. Since the 1990s, “a Hotep” has come to be used to refer to a proponent of radical or fanatical black nationalism.

Despite my SPLC-designated hate-list status, I have enormous sympathy for black Americans and their problems which, in many ways, are similar to the problems of rural white “redneck” Southerners. Anyone promoting hate as the solution to such socio-economic problems is not a true friend of the oppressed. Conspiracy theories won’t fix poverty or family breakdown, but I digress. Meanwhile, back on Nick Cannon’s podcast:

“When you have a person who has the lack of pigment, the lack of melanin that they know they will be annihilated, therefore they know that however they got the power, they have a lack of compassion, melanin comes with compassion,” Cannon said.
“Melanin comes with soul, that we call it soul, we soul brothers and sisters, that’s the melanin that connects us so the people that don’t have it, are, and I’m going to say this carefully, are a little less and where the term actually comes from, and I’m going to bring it back around to Minister Farrakhan, where they may not have the compassion,” he added.
“When they were sent to the Mountains of Caucasus, they didn’t have the power of the sun. The sun started to deteriorate them. So, they’re acting out of fear, they’re acting out of low self-esteem, they’re acting out of deficiency, so therefore the only way they can act is evil,” Cannon continued.
Scholars have long debunked the pseudo-scientific claim that skin melanin levels are linked to intellectual abilities.
“They have to rob, steal, rape, kill and fight in order to survive. So these people who didn’t have what we have, and when I say ‘we,’ I speak of the melinated people, they had to be savages, they had to be barbaric because they’re in these Nordic mountains, they’re in these rough torrential environments, so they’re acting as animals, so they’reDe the ones closer to animals, they’re the ones that are actually the true savages,” Cannon said in the video.
“So I say all that to say the context when we speak of ‘Jewish people,’ white people, Europeans, the Illuminati — they were doing that as survival tactics to stay on this planet,” Cannon added.

Oh, dear God, where to start? This is an attempt to combat negative stereotypes of black people by asserting the opposite of white supremacy.

It would be sufficient, as a rebuttal, to reply: “Citation, please?”

That is to say, there is no valid science to support Cannon’s bizarre assertions, which are in fact a pseudo-scientific interpretation of the lunatic ravings of Elijah Poole a/k/a “Elijah Muhammad,” who was a disciple of Wallace Dodd Ford, a/k/a “Walli Fard Muhammad,” the founding prophet of the Nation of Islam. So far as the FBI was able to determine, Ford was actually a white man, who had served time in San Quentin prison, although it has also been claimed that he was a Turkish Muslim who acted as an agent of Nazi Germany. Whatever the truth about Ford/Fard, his disciple Poole had only a third-grade education, and his weird teachings — the ancient scientist Yakub manufacturing white “devils” — were such a tale as only a fool could believe.

It is from this nonsense that Cannon’s claim about “melinated people” is derived, a belief analogous (in obverse) to Nazi mythology about the German people as descendants of ancient Aryans. A truly wise man would say, as regards the origin of differences between races, “We don’t know.” Because I’m a Bible-believer who has always been skeptical about Darwinian theory, I don’t buy into the “millions of years” of prehistory that anthropologists use to explain these differences. Beyond that, however, I have no theory of my own, and don’t really consider any such theory necessary or useful. My own British ancestors first appear in history as warlike barbarian tribes opposing Roman conquest, and just about everything prior to that is anthropological speculation.

Of course, facts and logic are tools of the blue-eyed devils, so I don’t suppose that any of Farrakhan’s followers would care, but I do hope that people will keep an eye out for this trend of black-supremacist conspiracy theories. The #BlackLivesMatter movement has obviously given such kooks an excuse to come out and spew their nonsense in public, and I expect we’ll see more violent terrorism as a result.

UPDATE: Canceled!

So, CBS is against anti-Semitism. Who knew?
